So, did anyone watch it?

I watched it straight through, plans were to watch again later on DVR with the pause button and writing down specific rebuttals, but honestly I don't think that will be necessary. I don't see anyone actually trying to defend or advance any of the goofiness presented last night. There's a reason why there is zero chatter anywhere about the presentation.

To me, it was much bluster and buffoonery without anything to show for it. No actual policy proposals were made, it was a tearful retrospective of what had been achieved in the past but otherwise, it just devolved into being a hit piece intended to give anti-gunners a warm feeling inside. It was definitely geared to inflame the emotions of superficial people who have very little knowledge of the issue and especially the underlying history and law.

There was very little knowledge of the gun rights argument demonstrated, it was a string of caricatures of what anti-gunner's feel gun rights supporters believe.

In essence and effect, it was just a two hour long exercise in stuffing straw men . . . and then everyone congratulated themselves and left to sip lattes.

The Chris Cuomo discussion afterwards was laughable.
